1000-Lb Sisters’ Amanda Halterman Debuts New Boyfriend Amid Cancellation Rumors

After enduring several romantic setbacks, 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star Amanda Halterman may have finally discovered the love she has long sought. Recently, the 44-year-old reality star was married to Jason Halterman, but her life has taken a transformative journey over the years. The series focuses on the lives of her sisters, 38-year-old Tammy Slaton and 37-year-old Amy Slaton, with Amanda initially opting not to appear on camera until the fourth season, despite her close bond with her siblings.

Though Amanda entered the reality TV landscape later than most, she quickly won the audience’s hearts during season 6, where she garnered more screen time than before. Her fiery demeanor and outspoken nature resonate with fans, who are captivated by her engaging personality. This season has also spotlighted another facet of her life: her relationship journey post-divorce. Join us as we delve into the details of her evolving love life.

Amanda’s Struggles in Love

Heartbreak from Her Last Relationship

Amanda experienced a quiet divorce from Jason Halterman while filming season 4 of 1000-lb Sisters. After 22 years of marriage and raising four sons, they chose to part ways, which thrust Amanda back into the single life. Shortly thereafter, she met a man named RJ. As season 6 progressed, Amanda excitedly announced her move from Kentucky to Florida to be with him. This joy was encapsulated in a now-deleted TikTok post featuring Amanda and RJ enjoying a day at the beach together.

Initially, Amanda appeared to be thriving in her new romance. However, she soon faced heartache when, in June 2024, she revealed on TikTok that RJ had ghosted her. His sudden departure to visit family turned into a permanent exit, leaving Amanda in turmoil. Unable to reach out to him, she found herself engulfed in heartbreak, leading her to return to her family in Kentucky.

Introducing Amanda’s New Boyfriend

Who Is “Mellow”?

After her heartbreak with RJ, Amanda briefly dated another individual before their relationship concluded without being publicly acknowledged. Recently, Amanda made an exciting announcement through TikTok, revealing her relationship with a man referred to as Leonard E. Moore. In her post, she shared a heartfelt caption: “Three months and a lifetime to go, ”indicating her newfound happiness after three months of dating.

Fans of 1000-lb Sisters could not contain their excitement and flooded the comments with supportive messages. According to Amanda’s responses, she confirmed her happiness by stating, “I am”when a fan pointed out her joyful demeanor. When faced with confusion regarding her romantic history, Amanda clarified, “RJ did ghost me, ”before adding:

“I came back to Ky. Dated one other dude for a very short time and met Mellow 3 months ago.”

Amanda’s transition from a painful breakup to a blossoming romance with Leonard signifies a hopeful new chapter in her life. This fresh relationship appears to center around her desires and aspirations, rather than becoming a means to exact revenge on her past partner.

Amanda’s Weight Loss Journey

Recent Challenges in Weight Management

While her sisters have long battled weight issues, Amanda Halterman was always relatively thin until marriage and motherhood led to weight gain. In March 2023, she underwent bariatric surgery for the second time, having previously had surgery over a decade ago only to regain weight over the years. During the weigh-ins of season 6, Amanda faced additional challenges as her recent knee surgery left her reliant on a wheelchair.

This injury hindered her ability to exercise, causing her weight loss progress to stall. Despite this setback, Amanda reported weighing 299 pounds during her last weigh-in, later reaching 268 pounds. Overall, she has successfully shed over 200 pounds over the years, showcasing her commitment to health and wellness.

Speculations Around the Future of the Show

Is a Season 7 Coming?

Throughout season 6, speculation surrounding the future of 1000-lb Sisters intensified, especially as Tammy expressed desires to leave Kentucky, the show’s filming location. Recently, Amanda addressed these rumors during an Instagram Q&A session, stating she couldn’t provide a definitive answer about season 7 due to a legal agreement that prevents her from discussing the show’s details.

This ambiguous response was unlikely to reassure anxious fans. Should a seventh season be greenlit, Amanda is poised to take on an even larger role in the series, considering her rising popularity and captivating presence. However, it remains to be seen how her new relationship will factor into the show, as history suggests that Amanda’s romantic endeavors often face challenges.
